With the creation of the Storm King’s Thunder DM Quests we wanted to clarify some questions that kept coming up about the Curse of Strahd DM Quests. Here is a revised Curse of Strahd DM Quest Sheet and CoS DM Quest Instructions. The DMsGuild files will be updated shortly. The following are the major changes: DM Quest Instructions Quests that are part of the storyline season must be started during the applicable storyline season. Most storyline quests can be finished anytime as long as they’re started during the season. There are some quests that have a definitive completion time frame and will be obviously noted. Once a quest is completed the Player rewards can always be applied. Valid start dates. Curse of Strahd – March 4th,2016- August 25th, 2016 What are the rarity of spell scrolls?

The mists brought many brave souls to Barovia to do battle with Strahd in his castle or to save the folk of Orasnou from Strahd’s minions. The Dark Powers are strange and unknowable. They do not let mortals out of their grasp easily. For reasons that are their own the Dark Powers have been emptying Barovia of many outsiders. These outsiders are sometimes already in search of a way out. Perhaps they are friendly with Vistani who know a secret way or they wander the woods for days. Regardless many are escaping to Faerûn. Escaping the Mists Characters who have participated in any of the Curse of Strahd adventures, be they the Curse of Strahd hardcover adventure or any parts of the Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts D&D Adventurers League modules, should all have the Demiplane of Dread story award. This story award locks the character into Barovia until an escape can be found. There are several places in the Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts campaign for at the end of the Curse of Strahd hardcover to escape through the mists. If however, a character cannot make it to any of those exits there are other ways to return to Faerûn. Downtime Activity: Escape the Mists A character with the Demiplane of Dread story award can gain the Escape the Mists story award after paying 20 Downtime days to leave Ravenloft. The Downtime day cost is modified as follows- +10 Downtime Days: Touched by the Mists – For each time the character has died, been brought back to life by the mists, and gained the Touched by the Mists story award. +5 Downtime Days: Enmity of Jeny Greenteeth – A character with the Enmity of Jeny Greenteeth story award (from 04-06 The Ghost) has not only angered the hag, but the mists themselves. +5 Downtime Days: You Murderer – A character with the You Murderer story award (from 04-08 The Broken One) has killed villagers of Orasnou. The Dark Powers grip on them is tight. +5 Downtime Days: Cursed by Greed – A character with the Cursed by Greed story award (from 04-09 The Tempter) has given in to greed at the behest of the Dark Powers. Leaving Ravenloft will be difficult as a result. +10 Downtime Days – Escape the Mists – Each time a character escapes the mists, but then returns to Barovia, escaping again gets...

Those that travel through the Mists find themselves affected in unique ways. For some who embrace the Dark Powers gifts they are changed by the experience. “As I held my freely flowing life in my hands I knew I shouldn’t have gone ahead of my friends. It was then I thought of Mulmaster, and worried that I would never get to see it rebuilt. In that moment of weakness, I was offered a second chance at life, I quickly took the offer, not...
